Meta Develops New AI System Amid Elon Musk's Twitter Overhaul and Regulatory Scrutiny

Meta is developing a new AI system slated for early 2024 that aims to outclass its own Llama 2 model and OpenAI's ChatGPT in capabilities. This next-gen system is set to enable businesses to generate sophisticated text and analytics. Meanwhile, since acquiring Twitter in October 2022, Elon Musk has shaken up the platform's content moderation policies. Musk, identifying as a "free speech absolutist," has dismantled the Trust and Safety Council and reactivated previously banned accounts while still suspending accounts critical of him. These changes have caught the attention of lawmakers like Democratic Assemblyman Jesse Gabriel, who supports a transparency bill that the attorney general's office is planning to review. Both developments highlight the dynamic and contentious landscape of social media and AI technologies. The word cloud below shows patterns in naming trademarks by Meta Platforms and Twitter.
